Re: Howto make citations work in aps bibtex

["Jan-Erik Hägglöf" <janerik.hagglof@bredband.net>]

HI!

So I did as you proposed

\def\mycite[#1]{[{\cite[author][#1]},({\cite[year][#1]})]}
 in my preamble environment file

also I did

\setupbibtex[database=referenser]
\setuppublications    [alternative=apa,criterium=all]
% inherits from adityas thesis example Do not why it is there 
\let\initializepubslist\relax 
  \def\mycite[#1]{[{\cite[author][#1]},({\cite[year][#1]})]}

and did \mycite[ref]

Here is the output:

end output

Something went wrong with the macro?
